Wine retailers won't get a regulatory change that would have eased the ability to sell online and ship to out-of-state customers.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo vetoed a bill Friday that would have restricted the State Liquor Authority's ability to go after a seller for breaking another state's laws when there's no finding of guilt in that state.

He said it would make New York a haven for "scofflaw" businesses intent on breaking the laws of other states.

The measure was inspired by Empire Wine in Albany. The retailer is also engaged in a legal battle with the SLA over charges of improper conduct after it shipped wine to other states. The agency says such direct shipments from out-of-state retailers violate laws there.

Cuomo said in his veto message he recognized the need to revise outdated alcohol regulations — especially in the area of online sales. He said he's directed the SLA to work with agencies in other states on legal interstate sales and hold discussions on changes to the state's law.

Adam Morey, Empire Wine's general manager, said that was a positive step even if the veto of the bill was a disappointment.

“It’s not everything we wanted, the bill wasn’t signed, but I think direct shipping did find an additional advocate in Andrew Cuomo," Morey said.
